Ohio VickComments on 1/19/23 podcast about looking up to the skyI’m a new listener of the podcast and enjoying it immensely. This podcast reminded me of a habit from my childhood of looking at the shapes of clouds to find an animal or some other object. I still do it in mid-life. It’s fun. Also I can relate to finding awe and perspective by looking at a book marker of the Earth-rise from the Moon. I displayed the marker in my office to remind me how small issues can be in the grand scheme of things. Thank you & best wishes for your continued success with your podcast!

1234lkjhg6789asdfWas curious what an anti-labor podcast host sounds likeWas excited to listen to this new podcast after hearing about it from a friend. I heard from another friend that Keltener has refused to stand in solidarity with UC students striking for better pay. Maybe I skip for now….

Savta'sI have been listening to this podcast for years and am never disappointed.I’m interested in research-based behavioral interventions that can applied to situations in our everyday lives. The Science of Happiness consistently introduces strategies that can be implemented to improve our mood and functioning if we are willing to try them. I like the modeling of the techniques and the science behind it.

Love P JoyGreat Happiness practicesLove the Scientific evidence for so many of the practices, I really believe in. In addition I constantly learn so many more. It’s so wonderful to spread these positive ideas in a world wired for constant stress.

NoOvernightGuestsAs someone who loves actionable, relatable science, this podcast is a must!Such an interesting podcast. You learn a lot about human behavior and people. I’m often surprised and touched by the interviews, resources, test results etc. shared during each episode.

LindaB23Political bias evidentI have not found an episode that does not contain a political bias. It is tiresome.

J*LearnerDacher is a superstarI truly enjoy this podcast. It is one tool in my tool belt for my mindfulness journey. Several episodes have not necessarily been of interest at first but, sure enough, there’s a nugget within the episodes that I appreciate and learn from. I also really like the shorter length because they’re not a huge time commitment and that makes the episodes more approachable for me. Dacher’s personality comes across as very warm and caring, which is the cherry on top of the substantive content.

CincodemayomamaInspired by your stories...and science!It’s wonderful to learn about yourself through other people’s experiences. It takes the pressure off and allows the listener to be inspired without being deterred by ones own insecurities. These stories are entertaining and thought-provoking. I like that the ‘Happiness Guniepigs’ are often accomplished and sometimes well-known people with credibility. It makes me feel better about myself to know that everyone wants to improve their happiness... it’s not just regular ol’ me. This in-and-of-itself would make a great podcast, but they take it further by bringing in all the science supporting the happiness of said example during the second half of the show. Thank you (I guess I’m sort of writing a Letter of Gratitude) for making a show that can really help people improve their lives and the lives of those around them.

Mad MACCHappy talkLots of happy talk about feelings from unscientific young people who start every thought with the word “So”. If you want to know about the real source of happiness then listen to Dr. Jordan Peterson. This is just fluff.
-
whitneyv05So good! Love the storiesI love how this podcast focuses on a personal story about a particular topic first and through most of the episodes, and then dives into the science behind it. It feels less sterile than other podcasts and is overall really uplifting and gives tangible goals and techniques.
-
Su GlezLove it.Thank you for this podcast. I am a psychotherapist and I even use your podcast to explain difficult ideas and concepts to clients in a simple, short and easy way to absorb. Thank you!!

Mantis79Boring, BiasedI was looking for an enriching podcast to listen to, this cough my eye. Unfortunately within the first few minutes there was Trump bashing, like huh? Was this necessary? Snowflakes talking about feelings, so boring.

ashleymc10Riveting podcastThis is a podcast full of scientific evidence to support a happier life! As a PhD student, it has helped me get through! I send these to previously skeptical family members. This podcast has changed their lives too.
-
RPMSpeedCan’t hold my interestWriting a book and hosting a podcast is not the same. You lack the ability to grab and hold you listeners’ attention. Keep your day job.
-
aallen324Hateful.Your political views do not matter. This is meant to be a podcast for happiness, not your far left hateful views. Change the name and purpose of the podcast.
-

nick (nayhenCome onYou need to work a lot to ketchup to the others because it is not good at all 🤬🤬🤔
-
_MaggieMae93Something Different!Really really love this podcast. It’s nice to have something more happy and more towards helping others! The only downfall is when some people are on the podcast all I can hear is the salvia in their mouth 😣 I’ve unfortunately had to skip a few episodes because of this
-
Lillie No Clever NicknameNice formatI love the try-and-see approach to each episode. The guests all seem to really benefit from their experiments.
-
SokneeuhhFavorites!This has been one of my favorite podcasts to tune into at least once a week. One of my favorite episodes that stood out to me and urged me to leave a review was “How to Keep Love Alive” (season 5 episode 3). I always appreciate hearing what the psychologists and experts at the end of each episode have to say about the exercises. Keep up the good work Science of Happiness! 💗

Dr CordellBrilliantI stumbled onto this podcast through my research on universal facial expression, work done in modern era by Dr. Paul Ekman. Interestingly, his work and work carried on by Dr. Eve Ekman led me to Berkeley’s Center for Greater Good. I have little doubt that we are all living in a mad, dangerous world - yet, our hope and our potential for better personal and collective human lives has always been within us. Thanks for this work GGIA.

PSUButlerBlinded by the leftWhy do you feel the need to bash President Trump and claim that xenophobia and white supremacy are on the rise (no data- scare tactics) during an episode that is supposed to be about finding the good in life. He does not hate “all brown people”. Leave your hateful bias out of a podcast that references the utilization of Science. Are you so blinded by your left-wing media-induced hate that you cannot accept that others have a different opinion. I call this arrogance. Why alienate half of the country by bringing your politics into what, otherwise as an enjoyable podcast series.

Rice Momsuccessfully blends science with specific individual storiesone of my top 5 podcasts! the tone is gentle but persuasive/encouraging. The guests are very authentic, disclosing, and likeable/relatable. They are also free people of color/non-WASP. The research is well summarized & fascinating. Commercials are brief and never obnoxious. These aren’t quick fixes but truly useful ways to improve ourselves and our families and communities. try a few episodes!

sfmornI love this Podcast!People need to be more happy!

GfdsthfvbhgdfghuInterestingI like this podcast because of the different interviews he does. Just like the title it really is the science of happiness. It’s the study of it. Some of the interviews are better than others but ya, it inspires me. Keep up the good work guys!
-
RockOperaticGreat show!Really enjoyed the episode about letting go of anger. Gonna put that one to use!
-
ChristineJackI wish this made me happyUnfortunately it’s really boring. There are a few good points and practices, however I find myself drifting off and not paying attention. Maybe it gets better???
